This is a mail routing issue. Why not configure the mail server properly? in voicemail.conf configure each extension's email to be '<NUM>@localhost . Handle the forwarding using the mail server's aliases file. This is typically /etc/aliases , but there are variations depending on the specific MTA (postfix? sendmail? exim? qmail?) and on the installation. Run two daily cron jobs that change the contents of the aliases file. Spefically with postfix you can give it a number of aliases files, and thus the cron job can edit one file, run 'newaliases' and be done with it. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
